"Where Tom Cruise and Oprah Winfrey have failed, (Canadian crooner Bryan) Adams, it appears, has succeeded," reports Britain's Express. And that is, to persuade Paul Burrell -- Princess Diana's trusted butler -- to buttle again. "Bryan's just asked me if I'd do it as a one-(time thing) at his dinner party," Burrell said. "Of course, I said, 'Yes,' because he's such a good friend. I could never return to it professionally, though," he added. He thinks he's no longer qualified for the job. "I've lost my anonymity."
